New Fragrance: Versace - Eros for Men

Eros was created by Aurelien Guichard of Givaudan and it was announced as fresh, woody and slightly oriental. The fragrance includes mint oil combined with green apple and Italian lemon. Warmth is provided by tonka mixed with Venezuelan ambroxan and geranium flowers giving a fougere twist to the fragrance this way.

Flacon of the new fragrance for men Eros is created of turquoise color glass with head of Medusa on the body of the bottle and on its top. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml EDT, along with accompanying perfumed body care products. Face of the advertising campaign is Brian Shimansky, while photographers are Mert & Marcus. Donatella wanted a man-gladiator for the new campaign, who is fighting for what he wants, fighting for his goals. "This is a fragrance for a man who is his own master. He is a hero: a man who defends their ideas and goals." - stated Donatella Versace. The fragrance will premiere at TFWA 2012 in Cannes.

Funny because Eros is the name of a popular bodyglide...lol

I can't get psyched on this one for Procter & Gamble is behind it since then everything has been lack luster from this house. I will smell it when it comes into town I would love to be surprised. I feel all the money went into the bottle.

When I think of "Eros," I don't get manly and heroic at all. I get the image of an androgymous youth.

Interested in trying.

That is exactly why it caught my eyes. Any time I see apple or grapefruit (thanks a lot Bottled and The One), I instantly start looking for samples.
I just hope this isn't another one of their in-your-face fragrance.

There's something wrong with the photoshopped guy. Either he has an immensely long chest or immensely long tights. Either way, they messed up the add, and that makes the whole thing a bit... tacky

However, I don't dislike Versace fragrances. I actually quite like Pour Homme, I almost love Eau Fraiche and I definitely love and wear Versense for women often in summer. None of them is a revelation, but they are nicely done and not expensive. Yes, a bit tacky somehow, but that's the brand...

something wrong with the face. He looks like a teenager with the body of a mature man.
I like this weird ad.

To anyone wondering what " Venezuelan Ambroxan" is, It is made from sclareol (which is a by product of Clary Sage which in this case is from Venezuela) which is used to synthesize Ambroxan. Ambroxan is a compound which is used to impart an Ambergris note into fragrances. It is also used in Creed's Ambergris Accord.
